Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Doqaus Care 1

  • Exceptional battery life, with many users reporting up to 90 hours of playtime on a single charge.
  • Great value for money, frequently cited as one of the best budget-friendly over-ear options.
  • High level of comfort for long-term wear due to soft memory protein ear cushions and a lightweight, 250g design.
  • Versatile sound profiles via three built-in EQ modes (Balanced, Bass Boost, and High Definition).
  • Convenient foldable design and physical control buttons that are more reliable than touch sensors.
  • Strong Bluetooth connectivity with multipoint support, allowing users to connect to two devices simultaneously.

What customers don't like about Doqaus Care 1

  • Average microphone quality, which may not be ideal for professional calls or noisy outdoor environments.
  • Occasional pairing and connectivity issues reported by some users, including difficulty reconnecting after a reset.
  • Physical volume dial can produce a loud clicking sound that may be distracting in quiet public spaces.
  • The 3.5mm jack port is recessed and narrow, making it incompatible with some thicker third-party AUX cables.
  • Lack of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC); the headphones rely solely on passive isolation.
  • Mixed reports on long-term build durability, with some users experiencing internal parts loosening after heavy use or drops.

Verdict

The DOQAUS Care 1 is a lightweight (250g) over-ear wireless headphone featuring dual 40mm dynamic drivers and a 1000mAh battery that delivers up to 52 hours of playtime. Its main characteristics include three switchable EQ modes (Balanced, Bass Boost, and High Definition), Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with a 10-meter range, and an ergonomic foldable design with memory-protein ear cushions. Main pros include exceptional battery life for its price point, versatile wired/wireless modes with a detachable 3.5mm cable, and high-fidelity sound clarity supported by a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response. Cons include a lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), no official water resistance rating, and a physical build that some users find slightly plasticky.
